Calibrated Sculk Sensor

Obtaining

A calibrated sculk sensor is a craftable redstone block built from a sculk sensor and three amethyst shards. It keeps the vibration-based behavior of the ordinary sensor, but its crystal-covered side adds a direct redstone filter input.

The block is most useful in compact contraptions where a circuit must distinguish one kind of event from another. Its recipe makes it a renewable build component once a player can reach a deep dark sculk sensor and collect amethyst shards.

Breaking

The calibrated sensor is a hoe-mineable block. Its block loot table returns one calibrated sensor only when the tool has Silk Touch; without that condition the block does not provide an item drop.

Usage

The block occupies a standard full volume and is shown with an isometric preview.

The sensor detects vibrations and emits a redstone signal in the directions around it. The amethyst-marked side is the calibration input: a redstone strength selects one vibration frequency, while no input makes the sensor use the highest frequency present in an event.

A calibrated sensor listens within a 16-block radius. It stays active for 10 game ticks and then has a 10-tick cooldown, so the same block can react roughly once per 1.05 seconds before distance is added to the vibration delay. Wool blocks between the source and sensor still provide the familiar vibration insulation.

The bottom output strongly powers the block underneath. Other output sides behave as if the sensor itself were strongly powered, except for the calibrated amethyst side. This makes orientation part of a redstone build rather than a cosmetic detail.

Sounds

The calibrated sensor uses the sculk-sensor sound family when it changes phase. Waterlogging keeps the block able to detect vibrations but suppresses the sounds produced by the block itself.

Behavior

Data values

The block identifier is `minecraft:calibrated_sculk_sensor`. Its local blockstate combines the four horizontal facing values with inactive, active and cooldown phases. The facing points toward the striped input side, so rotating the block changes which side accepts the calibration signal.

Trivia

An adjacent amethyst block can relay the frequency detected by a calibrated sensor. A filtered sensor only relays the frequency selected by its redstone input, which lets separate sensors pass a deliberately narrow signal through a build.
